New Pages!

And I'm just right on time! As usual!!!

Read the new pages!  

If I wanted a good cliffhanger for my chapters I'd cut this one here lol. I have to think about it... 

I screwed up with the therapist checking the drawings of the Boy, the scene was fine in my head but I realize now that it's be a bit confusing because of the way panels follow each other (and that sentence must be very bad English but I can't find the word lmao). 

So just to make it clear for you: the therapist compares the first drawings the Boy did to the one he just drew. The therapist kept them and note the Boy's age. You can even assume that the Boy started seeing a therapist around age 10.  At least that's what it says. (me  showing but not saying things, again :I ) Plus we now know that this dark figure has been haunting the boy for quite some time now. I really hope it's not too hard to understand.

I've never had crutches!  And it shows, when Joris appears in the first panel he definitely not walk like someone on crutches lol. I needed to check how you walk with crutches (you kinda lean forward etc.) to do better in the next panels. 

---

A while ago I wondered how to keep Joris trying to catch the Boy for a bit when obviously  Black Death is not after him. But I realized it just make sense, so if you're wondering too, don't worry, he will talk about it in the next pages! 

That King Kong story just to show Joris probably didn't read the Bible and have that funny talk - 

I wondered a lot about this scene. I didn't want Joris' intentions to be revealed too early. If he had asked the Boy to get into the trunk it would have been really suspicious immediately. So I played with the panels: we don't see the Boy getting into the trunk, we just have a shot of Joris talking about King Kong, and when we come back to the Boy we realize that he is in the trunk, with us probably thinking "what the hell you doing, Boy??"  

Also had to update Joris' car to get that trunk.

I think (hope!) the upcoming scene will be a really funny one!


Thank you for all the support during that year guys, I'm really grateful and I hope that the comics will continue to make you laugh, and maybe touch you! None of this would be possible without you! ♥


New Pages!

I am honestly impressed that Tera hasn't flipped the tables yet and spanked the sweet devil out of the boy or took him to a high building (King Kong style please) and just let him sit there for a day without a way to get down. Also Joris, darling: you are currently the only real blonde person. So it would be wise to reconsider your actions and wording very well unless you want to find out what will happen to a naughty little blonde boy who thought it would be okay to abduct the ,,toy" of one of the gang members only to come back later and offering said toy as a gift to get into said gang of said member. Long story short: enjoy the next few months in the hospital because I seriously doubt that you will ever survive this. But in case you do: better learn how to run with crutches...

Maybe... thinking about how the boy met Joris in the first place and hearing about Joris' (death) wish to become a member of Black Death over and over again - the boy might even "pity" him in his kind manner, and try to help Joris reach that goal... As long as that trunk lid doesn't close over his head. Joris, it will hurt less if you remember that Tera has already claimed your gift (the boy) his "maid or something" - you wouldn't lay a finger on a Black Death members' belongings now, would you?! The boy has an impressive "body count" so far - though I was surprised, because I thought Joris holding the high score on the receiving end for sure ... NOPE! Joris: 1. got his back crushed into a concrete wall 2. got his nose broken 3. got his balls kicked 4. got shot in the foot Tera: 1. hit with an umbrella 2. kicked in the balls 3. got hit 4. got a cut on the cheekbone 5. run over by a car 6. hit with a cardboard box with a dead guinea pig in it 7. got his nose crushed by... the boys butt 8. hit on the head with a clenched fist 9. hit with a bow 10. slapped on the cheek 11. ellbow to the ribs 12. dropped/crashed on the floor 13. gassed by toilet air freshener 14. strangled 15. bitten 16. pierced with taser probes 17. well... tasered 18. got his "hair" pulled Boy... that's some tough love there! (self-defense, mind you.)

Mellowcat

I swear, the boy needs to use his taser more hkdgjdhgfjg

Blind Inks

I didn’t even think of that! Poor boy! I hope there’s a flashlight in there!

Aj

He probably could if he wanted to! He’s bossed Tera around (remember the poor hamster?) and then stood up to him in his room. The boy is tough, and Tera definitely recognizes it, even though Tera is definitely a tank in comparison. Also, doesn’t Tera joke that the boy is a “walking disaster” or something like that? Could be helpful to have that kind of energy for certain gang activities. 😂

Amanda Mills

I'm laughing so hard ahahaa "you're the blond girl" this just killed me ! But omg he'll be stuck in the dark ): I hope Tera will find him SOON and kick Jo's butt for being such a TERRIBLE friend

Sulfrae

Sometimes that stuff doesn’t go away. I have ptsd and have horrible nightmares, and most of them are the same. It’s been like that for a very long time

Austin Pechaud

A little bit super late. Happy new year Pico!! I loved reading the update. I’m scared that the boy is going to be trapped in that truck in the darkness :(

TheSunscale

Woah I didn’t even notice that! Great catch

Aj

Whoooa, I feel a strong connection from what Joris is saying in the new pages about the Black Death members overcoming all their fears and the end of chapter 7 where Tera took the Boy's sleeping pills. In chapter 6 part one, his conclusion that the Boy fears the dark, became concrete, so he took the pills in C7, to give the Boy a push towards overcoming that fear with his own strength, instead of just using the pills as a safety net. The Wolf is treating him as part of the pack. I love the character development in the Boy. He got so much braver ever sice he met the Wolf, and he even stood up to the sleep paralysis demon that has been haunting him for years. I'm pretty sure he will hesitate in taking the newly prescribed pills the next time he goes to bed. Amazing work as always Z-Pico, I really love how you write a story and expand on its characters. Thank you!

MintTeaPudding

He just tinders at Tera. (if that is how it works. I don't know how tinder works)

Fumachan

... Somone tell Joris how this works. :D Sometimes I'd like a ticket to his head and find out how he thinks those ideas are good ideas. Maybe it will help me understand the world a little better.

Fumachan

Joris no you ass >:<

Anon girl

Hey Kerimiko, I'm sorry you feel that way, my comment saying it would be available by the end of the month was from last month, and it did! If I decide to put a chapter on hold, it's up to me. I unlocked it for now but it probably won't stay long. Go read it!

Z-Pico

What a pity, I've waited all December, but still. there is no episode 7. I guess I'm leaving, I can't continue to support an author who breaks their own promises. Au revoir, chéri.

Kerimiko

JORIS DON’T DO IT!! 🤦🏻‍♀️. Thank you so much for the update and Happy New Year!!

Annie

Happy new year 🎊 🍾🍻🥳🎍🧧 So correct me if I was being delusional but was chapter 6 pt 2 post as ch7 by mistake and there was more?

Poppy's Stepstool

I think it’s really interesting that the sleep paralysis monster the boy sees has been the same thing since he was 10. I wonder what he saw and was so scared of when he was a kid that it manifested and consistently stayed in his life? Whatever it is, it’s still a fear of his like, a decade later. Doc, help him that.

Amanda Mills

I wonder if joris knows where Tera or the Black Death members live? They don’t strike me as a gangs that stays in one place for long. Maybe Joris just plans to drive around with the boy in his trunk until he runs into one of them?

Aj

Lol i bet the boy (being his charming and hilarious self) would have a better shot at (accidentally) joining the Black Death before Joris 😂

Aj

Oof I hope not! Then the boy may be in danger!

Aj

Actually I found the thing with the dead parents really accurate. I use it to make people uncomfortable when they start being annoying 🤗 Love it Pico, thanks for the new year present 😬 Je te jure quand j’ai vu le garçon dans le coffre j’ai eu l’image d’une souricière prête à se refermer 🤣

Teadolls

Happy New Year!! You know Joris could really sell to the Black Death that the boy is valuable, he’s the nephew of the chief of police!! Isn’t that like hostage gold???

Courtney

Oh yeah happy new year 🎉🥳!! Ha all I could picture while joris was talking is the boy being surrounded by very confused Black Death members and then Tera playing the situation down by saying the boy is his maid then getting him out as fast as he can 😭😂

naviist

Well Joris, take a look around. This hospital will be your home for a very long time after Tera is done with you for kidnapping the boy and (probably) using him as a gift or leverage for the Black Death. Sooo...better enjoy the Tim outside the hospital as long as you can. The boy might bring some flowers... to your grave.

Michael Lohmeier

Miss Jorisella really tries it... I want to see now Tera if get a shot of him and his reaction..

Watochello

The boy is truly a brat, I love him so much. Joris will never give up on his kidnapping idea it seems, this boy. But it is good comedy for all of us 🍿

L-Birdie

Okay I've read the pages now and... Joris- that bitch, he won't let his kidnapping fantasies go!! 🤣

CuteBarista

Joris should know how it always ends for him 👁👄👁🍿

Pancake

Haha I love how naïve the boy can be 🙈 and Joris is doomed again, he will never learn 😅 the parts with the drawings are really good, showing the evolution and consistency of the boys fears, definitely didn't need words there 😊 Happy new year to you! And thanks for the amazing comic, definitely my all time favourite 🖤

Chloe Mason

I haven't read the pages yet, but I'm so excited!! And happy new year Pico!!! ♥️

CuteBarista

Joris... he should know by now that trying to kidnap the Boy will NOT end well for him 🤭😂 "Is it working? 😶" I like how the Boy can be dramatic and oblivious at the same time 😂 Happy New Year! 🎆🎇

WhyAmIHere

Haha I don’t like to be too melodramatic so the Boy “using it” to make friends made me laugh too!

Z-Pico

Thank you so much and happy new year to you Pico 🥳 I'm sorry but I laughed at "my dead parents. I'm an orphan." and that face 😂🙈
